Las Vegas, NV, January 6, 2011 â€“ McIntosh Laboratory, a global leader in home entertainmentÂ systems that has defined the highest quality in sound reproduction for over 60 years, is offering iPhoneÂ and iPad users the opportunity to enjoy an iconic McIntosh experience anywhere and anytime with itsÂ new AP1 Audio Player iPhone/iPad App, available now for downloading at the iTunes StoreÂ (http://www.apple.com/itunes/whats-on/.)

Designed to envelop McIntosh fans in a portable aura of the company thatÂ defines the â€œplatinum standardâ€ in upscale audio, the AP1 Audio Player offersÂ virtually all features of the existing iPod App, while tailoring the portableÂ playback/control experience for the unique McIntosh style. With the new App,Â iPhone and iPad users will now be able to select tracks, artists, play lists andÂ albums as well as control the volume of the music, with all controls fullyÂ customized and consistent with McIntosh styling and functionality.

Notably, when not used as a controller, the AP1 will default to a McIntosh â€œMeter Display Modeâ€ and actÂ as a live meter display for the music in effect, providing users with a backdrop consistent with the iconicÂ â€œMcIntosh Blueâ€ LED watt meter â€“ a recognized hallmark of audio excellence. The App will functionÂ independent of any external hardware (i.e. Dock) and allow a portable McIntosh experience for all iPhoneÂ and iPad users. When used with an iPod Dock (of any make or model) the App serves as a virtualÂ McIntosh display, reflecting the companyâ€™s renowned brand, style and experience.

McIntosh President Charlie Randall noted: â€œMcIntosh customers have always been a breed apart when itÂ comes to their quest for ultimate quality in their music listening â€“ these are people who care deeply aboutÂ music quality, reliability, and of course the legendary McIntosh style. The introduction of our customizedÂ The McIntosh App on the iPadÂ AP1 Audio Player iPhone/iPod App reflects McIntoshâ€™sÂ commitment to providing our customers with the latest, mostÂ up-to-date benefits and capabilities of todayâ€™s â€˜digital age,â€™Â while retaining the excellence and functionality that has always defined the McIntosh experience.
